The 1964 would certainly be a little much on a 26' boat. The 1954 would still be a little much but is more reasonable. A 1944 with a 4' array would be the most suitable and would give you the ability to find birds at 6kW. The Garmin unit to get is the 5012 and then get a vision chart. you might also get the 5212 that is preloaded with charts for the whole coastline of the US. The new Furuno DFF1 is a great Fishfinder module, it would work well coupled to a B164. Improvements to this setup? Well, if you are not in a hurry I would wait to try out the new Furuno Navnet 3D. I would get 2 of the 12" Navnet 3D displays and forget about everything else. Navnet 3D should be released in April.
